“It has been dubbed Britain’s ‘most woke’ roundabout because drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists, and then other cars and lorries before continuing on themselves. Locals have pointed out the priority for cyclists and pedestrians is unnecessary as only cars and lorries regularly use the Boundary Way route.”
In Canada pedestrians always have the right of way
Cyclists are seen as vehicles though
Not in Fake Kingston, Ontario.
We even have signs that say “pedestrians yield to vehicles” around town.
As that would be a bylaw it wouldn’t matter in a criminal case, only a civil one
I don’t know what to tell you, Kingston adopted vision zero in 2019, and deaths have gone up since.
No criminal, civil, or highway traffic act charges are ever laid against drivers. Including for a driver that plowed through a child in a school zone cross walk infront of a school.
Traffic infractions are never criminal.
A car hitting a person is criminal and the car having right of way based on the sign wouldn’t be a defence
They do not “always” have right of way. You don’t have right of way over a train, for example. Or against a signal. Or when a car has limited visibility. Lots of cases.
A person crossing against a signal or jaywalking still has right of way
Trains are usually on train tracks not roads so they don’t fall under the rules of the road
So if that time some Canadians were driving 2 locomotives on the street, if one hit someone at a crosswalk, who would be liable?
The train car as it would be treated as a vehicle
And cyclists see themselves as whatever is most convenient to them
Depending on the county, the road planners do as well
As they should, car trash like to kill them for fun.
You mean whatever keeps them alive.
